If the syntax of the attribute is octetString, yes, the ;binary
attribute value, an OCTET STRING, will include the octetString
value.  Likewise, if you transfer cn;binary, the attribute value,
an OCTET STRING, should contain a BER encoded DirectoryString.
And if you transfer certificate;binary, the attribute value, an
OCTET STRING, contains the BER encoded certificate.

I see how my previous comment might have been confusing.
